Meet COWBOY BEBOP Director's SPACE DANDY

Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo helmer Watanabe Shinichiro will be back on Japanese television screens in January when his new series Space Dandy premieres. And it would appear that long time fans of the director have plenty to look forward to, with the series promising the sort of high energy and slick style that made him famous in the first place. The Anime News Network describes it like this:

The story revolves around Dandy, an alien-hunter. His job is to seek out new aliens never seen before, and receives a reward whenever he finds a new species. His mission is to find those new species faster than anyone else as he travels the galaxy. Together with the bucket-of-bolts robot QT and the dimwit alien Meow he picked up along the way, he comes into contact with new planets and their inhabitants.
